The Calgary Stampeders have a chance to cap off a dominant season with a title and the Redblacks can claim their first championship since the CFL’s return to Ottawa in Sunday’s Grey Cup.

The Stampeders rolled into the final at Toronto’s BMO Field after a 15-2-1 season touched by tragedy with the death of Mylan Hicks. The Redblacks are playing for the Cup for a second straight year — just their third season of play — after losing to Edmonton in their surprise trip to the 2015 final.

The Redblacks survived a scare when Burris appeared to suffer an injury in warmup. The veteran quarterback was able to play and rushed for a one-yard touchdown to give his team an early lead.

Calgary erased the deficit minutes later when Mitchell completed a seven-yard touchdown pass to Jerome Messam.

Ray Early gave Ottawa the lead again with a 37-yard field goal. Patrick Lavoie added to it in the second quarter on a six-yard touchdown pass from Burris after Ernest Jackson recovered a Lavoie fumble. Early sent the Redblacks into halftime up 20-7 with a 29-yard field goal on the final play of the first half.

The Redblacks stretched the lead to 20 points with a Brad Sinopoli touchdown early in the third quarter.

Calgary finally started to chip away at Ottawa’s lead with a 32-yard Rene Paredes field goal later in the third, followed by a Lemar Durant touchdown.

An Andrew Buckley touchdown in the fourth quarter pulled Calgary within four; Paredes missed the extra point. Ottawa went back up by 10 with a one-yard Burris touchdown and another missed extra point.

It wasn’t over yet: DaVaris Daniels’ touchdown for Calgary made it 33-30 in the game’s final two minutes. A Paredes field goal tied the game with 10 seconds left.
